Toilet chip repair at your home in Farringdon
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farringdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
